Default "True-fired" my car this weekend

After a little bit of practice on fenders and panels i decided to spray my car this weekend... I used HOK cobalt blue, oriental blue and white to do the job - it tookk about 6 hours to paint, 17 total for the whole car but I'm really happy with the results...
wha'chu think?

looks damn good! now you need some nice wheels to match the car. Go with something retro to match the flames, maybe something like Boyd Junkyard Dogs.

Very good job! Looks bad ***. I agree with Nineball on the rim selection or even a simple Cragar SS or even the played out Torque Thrust wheels.

The only thing I'd change would be by the clear corners, there's a lot going on with the car's body itself, having the flames spread apart in there makes it seem just a touch busy to me... But that's just the voice of someone who would kill to have half that talent. Awesome job!
